PLAY FETCH TO FINISH YOUR SWING CORRECTLY
Your dog will love this: Throwing a stick is a great
tool for practising the proper follow-through. When releasing a stick ( below ), your dominant hand’s wrist is in the same position it needs to be in at this point after impact ( right ). That confirms you swung through with good extension in your arms, maintaining the full radius of your swing – that’s key for power. Another drill for a proper follow-through is to rehearse a good impact position (remember that the club lags behind the body) with your iron resting in back of a ball. Then push the ball with your club towards your target, keeping your wrists stiff. Do it right, and you will end up in a similar fully extended follow- through position. You just learned the golf swing without countless hours on the range.
